Section 6: Custom User Model, Media Files & Django Signals

23. Custom User Model

To create a Custom User Model in Django we can do the following:

• Create a new User model that inherits from either AbstractBaseUser or AbstractUser class, which are imported from django.contrib.auth.models, depending on what you want to do, here's an explanation on the difference between both inherited classes. Creating Custom User Models
• When creating a Custom User Model you too need to use a Custom User Manager

24. Make Password Noneditable

When creating a custom user model we will have to add certain rules to avoid the password being editable from the Django Admin Panel.

• In our admin.py
  1. from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
  2. Create a class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin)
